Here is the important info..

 - Trip Dates: May 31, 2020 – June 06, 2020
 - Cost: $2,049.00
 - Location: Rapid City, SD
 - Physical Difficulty: Intermediate+      

Rapid City is a two-day drive from Hendersonviile via this route.

     Cycle the Black Hills of South Dakota, along lightly traveled roads and portions of the unforgettable Mickelson Trail, a 114-mile-long, gravel-surfaced rail trail.

     Beginning and ending our adventure in Rapid City, we’ll visit the historic towns of Lead, Hot Springs, and Keystone, gateway to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, as well as Custer State Park. We’ll also see Crazy Horse Memorial, which, when finished, will dwarf Mount Rushmore, and Wind Cave National Park, one of the largest and most complex caves in the world.
     From breathtaking scenic vistas to rock-solid national memorials and state parks, you’ll get to experience it all on this fantastic loop ride.

     On Adventure Cycling’s inn-to-inn self-contained trips, riders carry their own gear, but there’s a lot less of it because participants stay in hotels and eat in restaurants every night — no camping or group cooking gear is needed.

• All meals
• Lodging (double occupancy): Trips of less than 30 days include the first night, but unless otherwise noted, do not include lodging on the last evening of the ride.
• Leader
• Maps and cue sheets, swag, and a safety triangle
• Use of the tool kit and first-aid supplies

     Upon signing up for an organized tour, you will receive confirmation and preparatory materials, including a copy of Before You Go: A Handbook for Adventure Cycling's Inn-to-Inn Tours (PDF/732 KB), which contains a packing list and training tips. About 60 days prior to your trip, you will receive a Tour Information Packet with specific details about your starting location, a participant roster, official bike shop, travel tips, and much more.
